Why does it have to be one or the other? 😜

Clare-Dragonfly I was thinking “why can‘t it be both?!” Before I read your caption 😂 3y
mklong LOL, I would totally be up for a witch book club! Maybe I‘ll start one…🤔 3y

#workinprogress I‘ve decided to try for wreath doodles in my 2018 #bujo. They are so much work, but so pretty! This one just needs to be outlined & colored in. #bulletjournal #hello2018 #bujopage #bujolover #hpny18 #newyear #bujoideas #bujoinspo

AshleyHoss820 You're off to a good start! That's lovely! 7y
Velvetfur Oohh that's gorgeous! I should have done something like that in my bujo, I'm up to the end of Feb already, argh! Are you going to colour it in too? 7y
brookerhi Yes, I have plans to color it! 7y

rabbitprincess Haha one of my friends posted that on my Facebook page. She said it sounded like me. No clue where she got THAT idea 😂 7y
AprilMae @haileyhugsbooks but what happens when two bookworms go book shopping? They buy the store. 7y

Thanks 4 posting the quiz @julesG ! It was obvious that I was a bookworm (I mean, aren't all Littens?) but I wanted to see just how much of one...If I'm not reading, it seems that I'm spending time looking up what to add to my TBR queue. But at least I gave up reading while walking and reading while eating which pissed my family off when I was a kid. But now I'm an adult so...audiobooks make this a possibility again😏
Link to quiz below👇🏽

Wbabdullah Welcome to Litsy @WithLoveShadai ! Take this quiz so I can see how much of a bookworm you are! 😏😉🤣 7y
julesG Reading while walking or eating is something I do, audiobooks are great. I used to walk to school with my nose in a book navigating other pedestrians and traffic lights without any problems. 7y
Wbabdullah @julesG me too!! (Walking to school and not getting hit or having in issue re: pedestrians, cars, and buses). But it drove my family insane!! I guess they were scared/anxious for me of all the accidents that could occur. And my grandma was super etiquette lady, I loved her to death but she thought reading at the dinner table was/is bad manners. Probably was/is...especially when people are trying to talk to you...😂 7y
julesG I let my kids read at the table. I love #raisingreaders. 7y

Cinfhen I'm just not a #booksniffer otherwise I checked EVERY box 😝 7y
The_Literary_Jedi I‘m right there with you checking every box 😀 7y
julesG @Cinfhen I'm not a "book perfume" person but I have a very sharp sense of smell and have left books behind at the library or even new books in a bookshop when they were smelly. 7y
Cinfhen Oh for sure! I detest the moldy mildew smell of really old books 😖😖😖 7y

jmtrivera When I was really in trouble, my dad used to say, "Go to your room - and NO READING!" ? 7y
CoffeeCatsBooks My parents finally realized this was not a good punishment for me. 7y
Rebonkula Can't tell me if I'm already there! 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 @jmtrivera Hahahaha...he must have realized that was a catch 22 for a parent. Reading is fundamental😀 there's a million wisecracks that could have followed that punishment. 7y
jmtrivera @JanuarieTimewalker13 I was much less of a wisecracker then! But being a sci-fi/fantasy kid, I was convinced he'd magically KNOW if I cheated and snuck a book, so I'd sit on my bed and stare longingly at my bookshelf! I think I only cheated maybe once, but I couldn't help it! The books looked so lonely without a reader! 😂 7y
balletbookworm Lol, I used to have to sit on the green chair in the living room when being punished (mom could see that chair from the kitchen) bc I'd just read if sent to my room 😂 7y
Zelma It looks like a,lot of us were the same as kids! 😂 my punishment was to sit at the kitchen table and socialize while dinner was being prepared. 7y
lamaman2boys This was exactly what I did at first. Then I started having to do extra chores because sending me to my room was an anti-punishment! 7y
readinginthedark I wish! We had the "punishment fits the crime" rule: stay on the phone too long, grounded from the phone; don't come home before curfew, grounded at home; don't eat your dinner, no dessert that day or the next; and so on and so forth... 7y
booksaremylife562 This is my daughter 7y
JanuarieTimewalker13 @jmtrivera awhh!! That's adorable! I think it's such a blessing to have a child who likes to read!! 7y

The 'rather be reading' percentage would be way higher for me but all in all I think this is true. 😂

lilycobalt In my case, allocate "spent rent money on books" to "waiting for Hogwarts letter." Otherwise, so true! 8y
CocoReads 💯 me although the percentages would probably be a little different. 8y

My two favorite pages in this book 😁👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻! My dream is to have my own unique bookstore someday in NH, with an attached art studio/gallery for @BookBabe and an old-fashioned soda fountain shop on the other side 🤓😊. Would you come visit?! 😳

KarenUK Definitely 👍😊 8y

Bookzombie I always wanted a book store and bakery together. Especially cupcakes. Then I met my husband who loves to barbecue and I started thinking about books and barbecue. 8y
Zelma I think you could staff it just with just the Litsy community! 😆 8y
GlitteryOtters Visit?! Dude, I would run the vegan bakery next door. You'd never get me to leave! #WillTradeBakedGoodsForBooks 8y

#TBRtemptation post! (First one of 2017!!) This was given to me by my library colleagues, and it is very fun and thoughtful 😁👏🏻. It's a doodle book that provides you with pages-long prompts and get you thinking about all things books--reading, writing, selling, swapping, borrowing, etc. It's the best such book I've ever come across & I'm hesitant to do anything with it because it's so aesthetically pleasing, lol! #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎

saguarosally I can't do the Feminist Activity Book either because it's just so cute! Buy a second copy? 😁 8y
whatthelog Lol I get that feeling! I was so careful colouring in the feminist activity book, it was ridiculous 😂 8y
Peddler410 @MrBook Find out where your colleague got that gem then let me know so I can go buy one for me 🙂 8y
